shouts of joy. The overcast
day seemed to hold a lid on ■
the merriment only letting
the sun peek through from
time to time to warm the
chilly celebrants.
Since the war had taken
so many men away, the band
was depleted except for a
few stalwarts that soon
were marching up, and down
the streets. Men likeLloyd
Schrantz, Ad Willaman,.
John Shook, Al Witt, and wV
J. Evans.
Albeit, it wasa false
alarm. All became silent,
waiting for word that the
had truly ended. F r i day->
Saturday - Sunday. At 5:15
Monday morning the shrill
shop whistle broke the
silence, followed by the
church'bells. The 1565 days
of fighting were over, Germany had signed the Armi- j
stice. It was November 11., '
1918.
There Would be no work
today at the factory. By
8:00 a.m. the parade had
formed. Leading it was the
familiar bigure of August
Deiss in his regalia on a
pure white horse. E. B.
Schiltz was Marshall and
all the Knights of Pythias
werd out in full uniform..
. Thy hastily planned parade
also included Hoover
trucks, hay ladder wagons
and M.O. Surbey's tractor
pulling two or three wagons
of happy folks.
In an ea,rly issue of the
Newsy News, this description of the closing of the
festivities is related:
"After the parade hadmar-
ched on all the streets, it
went to the park, where w e
assembled on the Diamond,
and sang the Star Spangled
Banner, America, andKeep
tljeHome Fires Burning.lt i
was- then that the mostim-*
posing part of the celebration took place - the burning
of the Kaiser at the stake."
The vote to make the State
dry had almost been for-
. gotten and the flu sufferers
momentarily neglected.
One has to wonder if the
excitement and sheer joy of
the moment didn't create a
'-'high" of its-own and Ifeal
the ill.
With Election Day just
behind us, historically, we
are reminded of a very important election day fifty-
seven years ago. America
was at war with the Kaiser-
this had created such
strong feeling that all
across the Nation names of
Germa/iic extraction were
being changed, hospitals,
schools, buildings, and
towns. >
This was the Fall of 1918
and in January before New
Berlin had become North
Canton. Residents had
hardly gotten used to the
new name and businesses
were still changing their ~(
stationery.
The Fall of 1918 had
brought influenza to town in
almost epidemic proportions - causing Mayor J.B.
Mohler to issue a proclamation "closing all schools,
churches, pool rooms,
bowling alleys, public
gatherings, loitering and
congregating."
With 177 plus young men
off serving the colors and
the "flu" just starting to
wane, it hardly, seemed
likely there would be much
of a turnout on Election
Day - but the main issue in
this case would bring them
out to vote, no matter how '
sick.
. The issue in question
was Vote Ohio Dry. For
months the campaign
against public sale of liquor
had been fought. The town
had voted to go "dry"by a
266 to 74 vote on a previous
ballot but now itwas aState
issue. Election Day that
year was Tuesday the.oth-
Oliio had'voted to drv ud
with a majority of 25,000.
There was great re joi -
for the victory at the polls,
but more rejoicing was to
come. As the world spread
about the vote, word also
came from Washington that
the'
Dowell Co., in Akron, received the most votes with
3,377.-
Running second with
3,192 votes was Grady, 24,
a law student at the University of Akron and who is
employed in the Stark
County prosecutor's office.
Raye, 42; an auto salesman with W & J Chevrolet,
was third with' 2.752
votes. Raye was unsuccessful in 1972 when he
ran against Ward 1 Coun-
ilman Q-lenn A, "Jim"
qg, who was unopposed
!*, year for reelection.
*\ * unopposed and retain, ♦heir seats were
Wai \ councilman
Ted^ s„ .filer, who was
named to his post in December when former Ward
Councilman Clark moved
into an at-large seat, and
Ward 4 Councilman Paul
Blohm.
Maag received 1,143
votes, Blohm, 1,480 and
Scheffler, 940.
Maag, 47, is a contractor
with 6 years council experience; Scheffler, 36, is
manager of general accounting for the, Hoover
Co. and Blohm, 46, insurance claims representative, has served as Ward
4 Councilman two years.
In the school board race,
Yale Strausser, a 16-year
board veteran and newcomer Jo Lindamood, were victorious over Jack L.Dillon,
David L. Gross and Joe
Pinney.
Pinney was seeking to
regain a board post which
he lost in 1973.
Mrs. Lindamood will
succeed Charles Gulling,
presently board presi
dent, who did not seek reelection.
School board totals were-
Llndamood, 2,987; Strausser4, 2,938; Billon, 2,447;
Pinney, 2,060 and Gross,,

Reports From
The Capital
ATTENTION TO
SENIOR CITIZENS
In a society increasingly oriented toward
"youth," we sometimes
neglect the one group of
people most deserving of
attention due to their collective experience and because they have in every
sense "paid their dues"
through years of productive employment and social
concern. That group is the
elderly, senior citizens often left out of the mainstream of life not because
they can make no productive contribution, but
merely because they are
advanced in years.
However, increased
sensitivity to the conditions of the elderly is manifested in a broad range of
bills now in various stages
of the legislative process
in the Hlth General
Assembly. Perhaps the
most far-teaching example is Am. H. B..286, now
in the Senate Judiciary
Committee, which would
prohibit discrimination
basen age.
END TO AGE
DISCRIMINATION
Ohio law presently
bars discrimination
(based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin/
or ancestry) in employment, public accommodations, labor organization
Am. H.B.286wouldaddage
as a prohibited category,
with "age" meaning
18 years of age or older.
In effect it is aimed at unfair practices against senior citizens not because
they cannot do a job or fulfill a contractual obliga-
tionn but merely because
they are advanced in years.
In terms of employment the bill affects interview policies; hiring, firing, promotion, and tenure;
and required listing of age.
It would prevent employers
or labor organizations
from classifying their
members by age or
controlling apprenticeship
programs solely because
of age. All transactions,
listings, and solicitation of
mtormation for housing
loans would also be
covered.

Reports From
The Capital
ATTENTION TO
SENIOR CITIZENS
In a society increasingly oriented toward
"youth," we sometimes
neglect the one group of
people most deserving of
attention due to their collective experience and because they have in every
sense "paid their dues"
through years of productive employment and social
concern. That group is the
elderly, senior citizens often left out of the mainstream of life not because
they can make no productive contribution, but
merely because they are
advanced in years.
However, increased
sensitivity to the conditions of the elderly is manifested in a broad range of
bills now in various stages
of the legislative process
in the Hlth General
Assembly. Perhaps the
most far-teaching example is Am. H. B..286, now
in the Senate Judiciary
Committee, which would
prohibit discrimination
basen age.
END TO AGE
DISCRIMINATION
Ohio law presently
bars discrimination
(based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin/
or ancestry) in employment, public accommodations, labor organization
Am. H.B.286wouldaddage
as a prohibited category,
with "age" meaning
18 years of age or older.
In effect it is aimed at unfair practices against senior citizens not because
they cannot do a job or fulfill a contractual obliga-
tionn but merely because
they are advanced in years.
In terms of employment the bill affects interview policies; hiring, firing, promotion, and tenure;
and required listing of age.
It would prevent employers
or labor organizations
from classifying their
members by age or
controlling apprenticeship
programs solely because
of age. All transactions,
listings, and solicitation of
mtormation for housing
loans would also be
covered.

Commission would deter-
